Greetings from South Africa. The Golf 6 is one of my favourite Golf generations, especially with the 1.6l petrol engine. I think the Golf 4, 5 and 6 are the best of the modern golfs.

I've heard that there are loads of problems with the Golf VI to 2012, that were barely touched on in this video - so it's probably not the video you would make your decisions on if you're looking to purchase one second hand

I bought a 1.6TDI back 2016, great MPG and only £30 road tax. Sure it’s not the fastest thing but there’s plenty of low end grunt for overtaking and it’s comfortable for driving around town. Yes the clutch did start to go around 60-70k (I bought it used with 56k) but due to circumstances didn’t get it changed until 114k, so I managed to get it to last that long. I’ve had it 5 years now but it’ll have to go as it’s not ULEZ compliant, if it wasn’t for that I’d probably would keep it.

I have a 2012 Golf, bought new, in the entry-level American trim with a 2.5-liter inline five. My one big problem with the car was a constant stalling at stoplights that took seventeen tries for my dealer to fix. The DSG has never been a problem for me because I get my oil changed every year and I drive much less than 14,000 miles annually.
@aaron___60149 ай бұрын
You get the dsg oil changed annually. It's like $200+

Did the base trim have DSG? "DSG" refers to the dual clutch automatic, I believe the base trim had a torque converter automatic.

My '07 Rabbit (Mk V Golf in the US market) has a trunk leak, but it hasn't caused any corrosion issues, VW has exceptionally good rustproofing, it is a minor annoyance, and sometimes I have to bilge pump out the rear tire well after a particularly heavy rain... My MkVI TDI has no leak at all...
